Terry,
Thanks for that list, sorry I got confused about your first statement. One
other question, what head was on the 'high energy' Bluebird L20b (the one
with the black rocker cover?) and was this the reason it was called a 'high
energy' motor? Increased compression? I understand that they're crap
anyway because you can't use unleaded fuel with them but I'm curious anyway
Cheers
- Tom
